Etymology

edit

From the name of the Ancient Greek letter ῥῶ (rhô).

Pronunciation

edit

Noun

edit

rho (plural rhos)

  1. The seventeenth letter of the Modern Greek and Classical alphabets and the nineteenth letter of Old and Ancient.
    • 2022, R. F. Kuang, Babel, HarperVoyager, page 25:
      Greek was an exercise in making the familiar strange. Its alphabet mapped onto the Roman alphabet, but only partly so, and often letters did not sound how they looked – a rho (Ρ) was not a P, and an eta (Η) was not an H.
  2. (finance) The sensitivity of the option value to the risk-free interest rate.
